Pope Julius II (1503-13), the 'Warrior Pope', was in power when Martin Luther became a Doctor of Theology in 1512. Pope Julius II firmly and diplomatically reasserted temporal strength in the papacy, and it was the selling of indulgences for his ambitious building projects that first irked Luther. But there were several Popes spanning Luther's life (1483-1546) and Reformation activities. Luther gained Reformation prominence in 1517 with his 95 Theses, and it was Leo X (1513-21), a Medici, who excommunicated Luther in 1521. But Leo X also died that year, and his cousin, Pope Clement VII (1523-34), joined with Emperor Charles V as Luther's adversary for the next decade. Pope Paul III's (1534-49) Counter-Reformation in the Council of Trent (1545) perhaps stands in greatest contrast to Luther and the Protestant Reformation, as Luther's health failed in the final 15 years of his life.
